They’re just going to let Lynn bleed out for his last start?

Gotta keep that 100 pitch streak going.  It's like dropping the foul popup last year so Minor could get 200 strikeouts.  Some meaningless/unimpressive personal accomplishments are just more important than the team.

Guzman is just Great Value Juan Gone, isn’t he?

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Rangers on pace tonight to continue losing every game with their roof open.

Edited September 25, 2020 by clapclapclap
Just like LMJ?

[WBT 20,425]

Tuve!!  Gotdamn, Lance Lynn fixes what ails you I guess.

[Guadaloopy 10,927]

¡‘Tuve!

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Altuve with another field goal.

[Guadaloopy 10,927]

Over six weeks without a HR from either Bregs or Tuve and they each get one tonight.  

[WBT 20,425]

Bregs going to stop on 1st after his next hit.

And time to pull Lynn after he hit his 100.

[Guadaloopy 10,927]

 No way Bregs was going for 3 there!  Only a single to go. 

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Dang, all 3 games the Rangers lost with their roof open the opponent scored 10 runs.

Giving up a run every 10 pitches!

[UTexasFight 9,381]

Fuck opponents named Calhoun

[Scraps 13,543]

Fucking got homered off of by a dude who wears a nose ring smh

[WBT 20,425]

Lulz, wtf if falefa doing?  Not much better from Yuli.

[WBT 20,425]

garneau kind of seems like he sucks.  Can't hit, can't throw, can't block pitches.

[clapclapclap 9,000]

May need to wakeup Dusty.

[WBT 20,425]

Somebody wake up dusty

[WBT 20,425]

Pretty good start for Javier.  Hopefully he can transition well to being a bullpen weapon for the playoffs.

The pitching staff is pretty well positioned for the playoffs.  My irrational expectations are returning.  

[rvm96 1,643]

Did TK just say 1892 instead of 1982 for Name that Astro?

[Scraps 13,543]

Hearn looks like Ryan Bowen

/noracist

[WBT 20,425]

Ha, our work group had a suite way down the RF line for that Eovaldi back-to-back-to-back game

TK probably thinks we’re in the year 1892

[UTexasFight 9,381]

Dammit

I wanted two cycles in one inning 

[WBT 20,425]

multi-hit games for Springer, Altuve, Brantley, Bregman, and Reddick tonight.  Where has this been?

[WBT 20,425]

Woooo!!

[UTexasFight 9,381]

14 hits between Springer, Tuve, Brantley, Bregs and Reddick 

[Guadaloopy 10,927]

Party like it’s 2019.  
 

Looking at our record in CA this year vs our record in TX, and considering where the playoff series are, I sure wish we were still in the NL. 

[elfenix 34,180]

scoring double digit runs seems nice

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

7 of the 8 playoff spots in the AL have been clinched by teams, and the Astros are not one of them. This season has not gone how I expected but then Verlander got injured and then Yordan and our the rest of our guys have had down years etc. and I'll be happy just sneaking in the playoffs. Looks like we'll do just that. Might be our last playoff appearance for some time so Im not going to take it for granted.

Still have faith in Altuve, but this is for the team:

[Tylerocks 2,551]

I guess it would be appropriate to clinch their spot on 9.25.

 

Mike Scott Day 9.25.86

Astros end 11 year playoff drought 9.25.97

[UTexasFight 9,381]

Indeed.

I hadn’t come across this clip before... that splitter on the 26th out at the 1:55 mark... mercy

 (MLB Film Room is fantastic btw)

Time to end our 11 month playoff drought.

And the umps that let Wally Backman run outside the baseline.

[TexArcher 37,528]

The Rangers' broadcasters did a 3-minute verbal homage to Joey Gallo for sprinting down to first on a routine groundout instead of dogging it.  Two replays.  No shit.

Out.  Thought so live and the replay is pretty clear.

[Guadaloopy 10,927]

Eat turds, Stink.  

[WBT 20,425]

Springer!!  How the hell did they let George get to 3rd on that?

Ah, it would have helped if someone had been covering 3rd.

[Guest]

Ok...slow to notice.  Just where the fuck did Texas get their caps?

[Guadaloopy 10,927]

Great to see George tearing things up.  Recency bias is going to make him a few bucks.

Ha, I was just thinking they look like the generic caps they make the kids wear at the little league world series.
